I had three active Striated Pardalote nest boxes
under my eaves at Aranda on Sun 21 Jan when I left for a week to spend with
friends. On my return on Mon. 28 Jan all was quiet in the pardalote nest box
area and I haven't heard a single pardalote call in the
area since.
Is it likely that all the adults that were using
the nest boxes were killed in the storm that raged through the area during that
week (Sat 26th I think)?
Last year the last batch of nestlings left after
2-2-12 but I have no record of the date. In 1991 one nest box was active on
12-3-91 but I have no record if there were young in the nest box at that
time.
Cheers
Peter
